Gov. Tim Pawlenty's speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition in Washington, DC was closed to the press but a few Twitter postings allowed those outside to happened inside the private meeting.

Here's the tweet run down from @RJCHQ by someone who was tweeting on behalf of the national organization this morning:

  • Now speaking at RJC's Ldrshp meeting, Gov. (and future POTUS?) Governor Tim Pawlenty! #mn #jcot Great speech on GOP's future direction
    • Gov. Pawlenty introduced at RJC Leaders meeting by Norm Coleman. Says Gov of Fmr Sen: He's not done yet!
      • At RJC leadership meeting, Gov. Pawlenty comes out strong for education reform, esp. school choice.
        • Gov. Pawlenty at RJC - on foreign policy: to him, popularity is not as critical as security of the American people.

          (For the uninitiated, Twitter allows users to post in 140-character bursts thus the abbreviations.)

          Pawlenty also has private meetings in Washington today and will be in California Thursday and Friday for political work.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
